Re: I wish some questions were never asked

Quote:
G23. Shoot FUEL from your own LAUNCHPAD. A ROBOT may only LAUNCH FUEL while in their LAUNCHPAD (i.e. at least breaking the plane of the line with BUMPERS).

For the purposes of FIRSTŪ STEAMWORKS, LAUNCHING is defined as shooting in the air, kicking or rolling across the floor with an active mechanism, or throwing in a forceful way. A ROBOT that has bumped FUEL has not LAUNCHED it.
Quote:
G28. Don’t use air to direct/redirect FUEL. ROBOTS may not use forced air to affect the movement of FUEL that is outside the volume of the ROBOT.
Violation: RED CARD.
When you reference a rule, remember to copy and paste the rule as a courtesy, folks.

As for responding to the OP- This is an odd answer as it contradicts another answer - Q68.

Quote:
68 can the game pieces (Fuel and Gears) extend outside the robot volume.

Can the pile of Fuel or Gear on top of the robot extend beyond the 24" height for the short robot or 36" for the tall robot as long as there are no robot parts IE. Nets, guides, force fields extending out side the constrained box. If the robot used the entire 36 in. by 40 in. by 24 in. and the gear was set on top would there be a violation?

Answer

GAME PIECES are not part of the ROBOT, and thus do not count in regards to measuring the ROBOT Volume.
Your concerns are valid. I suggest requesting clarification, stating your concerns.
